Community Health,
BS

— Create healthy, sustainable communities

Modern health care extends beyond the hospital and into our very neighborhoods. Whether it means ensuring everyone has access to nutritious and fresh foods, or providing vulnerable populations with preventative checkups, health care is now a community matter. The Community Health BS develops leaders who are dedicated to addressing health challenges at their source while also creating partnerships with both public and private organizations to leverage resources. By creating a community-wide response to these challenges, we can better advocate for patients and provide education opportunities for people of all backgrounds.

The BS program in community health is designed for students who want to create healthy, sustainable communities. Changes to the health care system call for an increased number of community health professionals who can advocate for individuals, families and communities as well as provide health education services. Graduates of this program provide health education, health promotion, care coordination, disease management, health care navigation and advocacy services for individuals, families, and communities.

This degree program has the same prerequisites as the nursing major; therefore, students may transition seamlessly to this program and obtain a bachelor's degree in a health-related field.
